Tips:

  • For a fluffy and moist cake, cream the butter and sugar until light and airy. This will incorporate air into the batter, which will help the cake rise.
  • When adding the eggs, add them one at a time and beat well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Lemon sour cream cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and is easy to make. With its light and fluffy texture, tangy lemon flavor, and creamy sour cream frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
